Introduction:

Spent a long long evening in a low down honky-tonk bar
Pulled a low down lady with a long black honky-tonk car

I asked no questions, got no lies,
Bb G
I walked off with her, I didn't want any ties
Bb G
And I knew it wasn't right
But everybody has to sometimes break the rules.

Took me down on the highway doin' too may miles an hour
By that way she motor-talked we might have made the Eiffel Tower.
C
She stopped her motor by her own front door,

I knew she'd done it so many times before
Bb G
And I was offered the floor.
But everybody has to sometimes break the rules.

But like I told you before
